Foster, Diocesan Words From Our Bishop… My wife and I welcome every delegate to the first Greater Tri-State Council (GTSC) session of 2015. God is doing great things and we are glad. I'm confident in my spirit this year will be one filled with abundant blessings. Nevertheless, we must understand that every blessing comes with activated faith. Faith is not merely the belief in the possibility of a blessing but taking definitive steps of action through our works. I am very proud of the ministries in the GTSC and love to hear of the maturity and growth that has taken place among the saints of this Diocese. More than ever, it is now time to honor God with the first fruits of not just our natural increase but also our spiritual increase. As a council we have matured. Just as a tree sheds its fruit at its time of maturity, we must reproduce that same greatness in other people. "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in its season" - Psalm 1:3. It is our season to bring forth fruit. This mark of leadership is where we must now place our focus. Our council's pastors and I have sown into the members of this Diocese the seed-bearing fruits of the spirit. If these seeds have taken root and manifested growth in your life, it is now time to sow this same fruit into other people. Words From Our Chairman… Lady Saleta and I would like to welcome the delegates of the Greater Tri-State Council to our Spring Session. Just as Paul wrote to the Corinthian Church, I remind our body that ... "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" - 1 Corinthians 2:9. We have not yet seen all that God has in store for the GTSC. Our Council Theme for 2015 is: Reproduction Through Leadership. The five in 2015 represents God's Grace and High Favor towards us. As God continues to Favor Bishop and Lady Foster, along with the GTSC and its leadership, we should gather together and give Him High Praise. High Favor/High Praise! If I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me - John 12:32. Let us continue to lead this generation back to God through our praise. As Highly Favored people of God, our Leadership example of High Praise will foster Spiritual Reproduction and draw others to Christ as we build up our Great Council! Again, we extend to you a blessed welcome. Sincerely Yours in Christ’s service, Bishop Lance R.
